The price of a barrel of oil will be what OPEC decides it will be. So long as we must have it and refuse to pump up some of our own, that's the way it will continue to be. And that's only a band-aid, as we don't have the refineries to process it, there's another complication. And, as the reserves are finite, we're only talking about shovelling the problem onto our grandchildren.

Wonder how long it will take China or India to get sick of the prices and take over the Mid-East?
